I have no experience with Pentax FA lenses, I believe their good quality lenses so you made same thing than me Laughing

I can't decide crazy or not to buy many copies from same lens. This lenses are so valuable and if anything happen not easy to get new ones.

I guess I have over hundreds lens, I collect CZJ and Meyer lenses.I have numerous lenses for this reason. Very hard to get some lenses and if I can get it I can't sell it Laughing I have 3 Pancolar 80mm f1.8 from this reason etc.
I bought at least 10 copies from Pentacon 135mm f2.8 from different variant, this is my all time favorite lens and dirt cheap.

Congrats Attila - I believe that is one of the all-time great lenses. They have been going for more than $400 recently, way out of my reach, although I have the Viv made by Kiron. Very Happy

The Kiron 105 macro, ring light with the extra flash attached and the power unit, looking like it was hardly ever used. It was mounted to a crappy Nikon N2000 with the shutter speed button removed (by Lester Dine). The price? $199!

I told the guy, keep the camera and I'll take the rest. He checked and came back to say, we'll cut the price to $175, and you can have the (crappy) camera. So I did Smile
I'll be playing with it a lot in the next few weeks. I already have the superb Vivitar (Tokina) 90/2.5. Now, I'll have a tough choice to make every time I go out Smile


Hey great deal! I am curious about your opinion, I also have both lenses. I vote for Kiron! I'd like better Micro-Nikkor 105mm f2.8 AIS than Kiron, but Kiron has built-in Macro 1:1 not many lens can do it at this focal length.

No way to count my lenses, they are in big crowded dry boxes, not easy to take them out and back into again, but need to sell a lot and buy new ones for testing.
